It was the release of Windows Vista that first pushed me to embrace Linux full time. I've gone through cycles here and there, and although my primary PC is a Windows Surface Pro tablet, my entire homelab is 100% Linux/BSD.

Small side note, Windows 11 isn't as awful as I had originally thought, and WSL is surprisingly functional. One could very easily operate entirely in WSL for a great majority of the day-to-day operations. The newest 24H2 update integrated SUDO, which is really amazing!

Hi,

I know this is a Linux list so this might be a little or maybe a lot off
topic. This is a good reason to embrace Linux and go MS free. It is my
goal to quit using MS by this time next year when MSW10 hits end of
life.

There is a Forbes article titled "Microsoft Windows Deadline—10 Days To
Update Or Stop Using Your PC".

https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2024/10/19/microsoft-warning-for-14-billion-windows-10-windows-11-users-get-free-upgrade/

I am surprised this has not been mentioned on the list.

After reading the article it appears there has been some negligence on
MS's part.
